Acknowledged as the largest and most important event on the regions calendar, Middle East Iron and Steel Conference will bring together the regions and the world’s leading steel producers, government officials, miners, traders and end-users to discuss the key issues affecting supply, demand, price and the industry at large in one of the most diverse markets in the world. 

Whilst post crisis doubts remain over the future of the industry, the Middle East has proved resolute in the face of multiple challenges.  The conference will focus on these challenges, how they have been dealt with, and the opportunities for future growth.

Whilst many have emerged in tact from what has been a very difficult period, can you afford to miss what will be the central forum for over 500 industry leaders, discussing lessons learnt  and laying the path for a successful future.
